Inc Southern Cultivator, in its excel
lent April mum Der, says that it is a COM
mon notion that the temperature OF the
air and the soil is a reliable indication OF
the time for planting the different varie-
ties of farm and garden seeds. Many
farmers will not plant corn or cotton I'M
til, in their Judgment, the soil is "warm
enough" to terminate the seed. That this
is not an unerring guide may be easily
demonstrated by the experience of any
one who has kept q diary and observed
closely. 1t Is quite true that corn, nor
cotton, nor other seed will germinate and
come up II the temperature OF the soil
continues, after planting, below the
proper degree of warmth for the germi-
nation and growth OF the particular seed.
But ordinary observation shows that in
our chapgeaole spring climate the tenn
perature OF the air and soil on one day is
no guarantee Of what it will be three or
four days thereafter. The conditions OF
planting may be all right at the time OF
planting ana be all wrong at the time or
terminating, In the spring corn usually
requires about twelve TO fourteen days TO
come up, and cotton seed from five to ten
days. Hence the weather may be all that
could be desired for several days after
planting the seed and then turn cold or
rain. 1t Is more important that the latter
half of the period Of gerInination should
be favorable than the first half. The cor
rect rule is to plant according to time
the day OF the notwithstanding regard 9TH
erwlse only to proper degree Of dryness
in the soil, which should be in good con-
dition for working. The time should be
determined by experience of past years.
In Dakota and other extreme Northern
sections wheat, corn and vegetables are
planted In May, as soon as the ground has
thawed to a depth sufficient to permit of
blowing and narrowing, the soil having
been deeply broken the preceding fall;
and it often occurs that the seeds so plant
ed are up and growing while the deep
supsoil is still hard frozen to the depth OF
many inches.

The Cabbage MaCgOt,

DR.. A. Oemler, OF this city, in the
American Agriculturist has this TO say
about the cabbage maggot: "The cabbage
fly or perfect insect OF the cab bage mag
got, was imported into the United States
from Europe about 1856, but its depreda-
lions until recently been confined to the
North. The cabbage disease known as
"olub-root," a warty enlargement of the
roots, has been ascribed to this in sect, but
| have never seen 1t at the South. The
cabbage msggot had not been observed to
he injurious to this crop until recently,
when il has become the most destructive
OF many cabbage insect pests, running
large fields In South Carolina during tn G
spring OF 1885. and in Georgia during To at
OF 1886, so completely that farmers were
induced to pillow them up for other crops.
When plant shows signs of the presen &C
OF tho insect by willing, or a sIckly. ap-
pearance, it is already past recovery and
no remedy can save it. The fly deposits
its egg on the plant at or near the surface
OF the ground, and the little white mag
got Matching eats away it's bark and pen :
etrates the stem. The insect is strictly
confined to plants Of the Brassioa family
and isolated farms may be kept compare
lively exempt by having no winter crops
OF any OF it's members"

The Navel Orange.

The Navel Orange is attracting g Ut
deal Of attention. Some recent e. -
spondepce, containing valuable I'M IA
hon with regard to ii, has receTW APP
peared In the Florida DispaD For
instapce. Mr.. Cutter, OF Kiyers :, Cal,
writes TO william T. Withers, agG licking
ton, Ky. (who is planting a 7 rye grove
in Florida }, as follows: Ff
81 drove several miles te, see Mr.. Tib-
betts, proprietor of the original trees.
The trees are In an unfavorable location
and also it Is now too late March 81 to
find many buds, as they have all COM
menced to grew. The matter OF getting
pure stock TOR budding is of the first i'm
portance. 1t is possible that you have
already pure stock OF the Navel in your
grove, but experience leads me 10 think
it very unlikely. The groves in Calitor-
MIA are wretchedly mixed up with the
Washington Navel and the Australian
Navel promiscuously. We dare not use
any buds that we can get here unless we
oversee the cutting of them. The Wash
Ingtou Navel is the most valuable Of
oranges, and the Australian Navel Is tar
inferior. One is the best Of bearers and
the other il the worst. Nurservmen have
not been careful about their budding and
so have perpetrated the confusion"
Mr.. j. A. Bastrom, who took the first
prize at the South Florida fair with the
Navel Orange, says: 81 am unable to say
whether or not my Navel Oranges exhib-
tied at Orlando were the Washington or
Bahia, probably some Of both but l be-
ieve mainly the former. The Navels
were often called by thatname some years
ago. got my buds mainly from the late

and had from him at least three kinds of
such buds, one of which had plain navel

slightly developed with hardly any core,
so that we have eaten the whole thing

Cultivate a Garden.


There are too many farmers who think
that to cultivate a flower garden is to
waste time. But the time is not wasted.
Flowers bring pleasure to home. They
bring to the surface the finer qualities of
human nature and contribute great deal
to make home happy. Mrs. NJ. j. Plum
stead, writing on this subject, says
think OF your wife and the girls in the
hot kitchen, day after day, washing, IRON
ing, cooking for you and the men. Don't
you think 1t would rest them to step out
after tea and walk or sit among the flow-
ers! And that reminds me. Have som g
kind Of a rustic seat in the yard under
the shade of a tree and see what a COM
fort 1t will be to sit out there some warm
evening. One can be easily and cheapIy
made out OF plain boards, If nothing bet
Ter offers. take 1t for granted you have
some shade trees in the yard. II not, this
spring will be good time to set them out
Not many, nor too near the house to keep
off the sun. Shade trees add greatly to
the looks aud comfort of home and
grew In worth and beauty each succeed
ing year.
Evergreen trees look well, winter and
summer. On many farms can be found
small-sized pines, frs, larches, that can
be easily moved, and cost nothing but a
little time and trouble. Plant in an ir-
regular group and almost before you are
aware of it they are large trees.
Ten, fifteen or twenty years pass rap
idly to busy people. The naples, the
waluuts, are useful as well as pretty, and
the elm is graceful. If one plants tree
they not only plant for themselves, but
for future gen erations."
